Steem Cameroon Contest - World Mental Health Day (Nigeria)

World mental health day is culled from the fact we make sure that our mental health is in the best condition. In our society today, we have experienced different issues either privately or public problems. At times, certain individuals lived with an issue that they can't even tell anyone. All they have to do is contain the problem themselves and enjoy the rewards of silent frustration. This situation and more has affected their mental health badly.

As a result, they have no choice than to take their lives in suicide. This has been the plight of some people locally or internationally. Because of this, the United Nations had to step in to intervene setting aside 10th of November annually to celebrate World Mental Health day. It is important to note that it was first celebrated in the year, 1992.

The mascot is the drawing of a ribbon which symbolize mental health awareness. Beside the ribbon, I made sure that World Mental Health day is written bolden and the date is displayed on top of the design.

The effects of this day to the larger society are as follows:

• Reduce the rate of suicide: At times, we see different people considering suicide as the only option to end their miserable days on Planet Earth. This issue went alarming as depressed people took this as their therapy. This date came in as a game changer to tell them that there's another way alert from suicide.
• Increase Productivity: Imagine a place where changes have made people change from depressed people to a working force. This is the capability of World Mental Health day. With this, the workforce in a given location will drastically increase.

The active promoter of this day remains the United Nations. Since they are the initiator, they believe that celebrating it yearly makes sure that the influence of this date never falls short. Even with, different countries including my country have adopted and joined in the celebration of this day.
My contribution rally among face-to-face conversations to awareness programs which entails more about the benefits of good mental health.

I invite @bossj23, @nsijoro and @usoro01 to this contest.
